The latest blind auditions have landed new voices into the next phase of season 27 of The Voice. I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the contestants, Divighn, whose show-styling personality was on display with his rendition of James Brown’s song. We talked about why he picked the song, his background, and why he landed on picking Michael Bubble.
Who is Divighn?
Nicknamed Divine Devaughn by his sister and later adopting the stage name Divighn, Divighn grew up as the youngest of nine musical siblings in a house filled with constant melody and harmony. At age 11, he and his three youngest siblings formed the Anointed Rose Buds, an a cappella group that recorded an album and performed throughout Los Angeles churches. After facing four ACL injuries during his youth and ending his basketball aspirations, Divighn turned these setbacks into opportunities, spending his recovery time studying performances of legends such as James Brown, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson.
This dedication transformed his stage presence, leading him to his current role as lead singer of the Soto Band, performing four times weekly in East Los Angeles. When not on stage, Divighn works as a health coach, helping others achieve their fitness goals.
